    Newbie Help

    +1 on the larger dish. My wife is also from Thailand and I didn't do enough research before I bought a system. I just contacted a local satellite dealer and told him I wanted Thai FTA channels and he bought the equipment and installed it. It's a stationary system with one LNB. It's aimed at...

    updated FTA list

    Excellent work dunnsept, the filters work great. Unfortunately one of my wife's favorite channels, TOTV (Thai Overseas TV) is not on the list any longer. We watched it yesterday afternoon and in the evening it disappeared. :(

    Basic newbie question

    Success Thanks for the help guys, I got up on the roof tonight and got lucky with my first twist of the dish. It actually took me longer to put the ladder up than it did to move the dish ever so slightly. The wife is happy again. :)

    Basic newbie question

    Thanks Disco. The dish is stationary and my receiver is a Captive Works CW-600S. I'll give these hints a try if I can get my ladder back. Thanks again for your help.

    Basic newbie question

    Thanks for the tips. I think the Q signal is okay because it got a lot better recently, probably when they swapped out the bird. When it was initially hooked up a year ago the Q percentage was only around 30%, the installer said that was pretty normal for this area. Now the Q is always over 60%.

    Basic newbie question

    Thanks for your response. I get signal strength of 73% - 76% on all channels. I get signal quality of 61% - 64% on the channels I get a picture on. This is about the same quality percentage I get on the Thai channels when they are viewable as well. I've rescanned a couple of times but I...

    Basic newbie question

    My apologies if this is the wrong place for this question. I did try to search but couldn't find what I needed. I had a stationary Ku-band FTA system installed about a year ago so that my wife could watch Thai programming on the Galaxy 25 satellite which I understand has been changed to Galaxy...

    Welcome New Members! (Please Say HI here!)

    Hello everyone, I've been checking in here from time to time and decided to finally post. I've had a stationary Ku-band FTA system in place for about a year so my wife can watch Thai programming on Galaxy 25. I must confess that I paid a pro to install the system and I really know very little...
